[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Yes I do get annoyed. I expect my child to be called whatever I write on forms or introduce her as.[/b] My parents are the worst offenders. If an adult introduced himself as Bob, no one would call him Robert and write emails to Robert. [/quote] My parents tried this approach. It took me years to get them to call me by my given name - Christina. You can try to insist on a nickname, but if your child isn't bothered by being called her full name, don't push it. If you really don't like the first name, just name them the nickname. I agree with other people. As an adult many people try to call me Chris, Christy, Christine, Tina, etc. I've even had some pretty bold people say, "well I prefer Chris", or "Christina is too long". It's really quite ridiculous how pushy and stubborn some people can be.[/quote]
